My boyfriend and I really enjoyed the Yellow Bird Hotel. We stayed at the little rooms with kitchens right next to the main hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They will help book any sort of excursion and are very helpful with recommendations for the island. The pool was lovely with sun loungers and the water was warm enough to swim in. The view of the ocean just outside was great. The only negative thing was the noise from the nearby bars/clubs. Most nights there was pretty loud music that would end around midnight. However, our very last night was a Friday night and there was louder than usual DJ music until 4 am. It was so loud it felt like they were in the living room. We did not get much sleep because of the noise that night and had to get up for an early flight. The other weekday nights the music didn't bother us as much, I'm sure its just much louder and longer since it was a Friday night. Other than that it was a wonderful place to stay.

What can I say about the staff!!!!! They are the most friendly happy bunch of people we have ever met on a holiday. A big shout out to Monique on reception one of the loveliest person you could wish to meet . Some noise at night from some bars and but it’s not every night . It hasn’t put us off booking again .

Great little hotel, superbly located for the sea views, bars and restaurants with really friendly staff who serve with a smile. Very clean spacious rooms offering a beautiful view over the small bay giving exceptional sunsets every night. No complaints at all and will stay here again next January. Only small bit of advice is if at all possible, avoid staying in one of the rwo ground floor rooms which offer a severely compromised view.

We stayed at the Yellow bird Hotel during the Men's T20 world cup. The hotel was busy, but that did not detract from the excellent service the staff provided.
We have stayed at The Yellow Bird since 2021, and have now become repeat visitors, and we don't see that changing.
We normally stay on the 1st floor but stayed on the ground floor. It was a great room, it was clean, and had everything that we needed.
We used the restaurant a lot, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner there on different days. The food was great and so was the service.
The hotel is only a short walk from the beaches, great restaurants and nightlife.
We would like to thank the staff, who really made our stay a holiday to remember. Our cleaners Sonia and Laurel, The reception staff Dashawn, Monique and Michelle. We can't forget Jamal and Kofi who helped with our luggage and repairs. The other staff who worked in the hotel and Restaurant Sherellanne, Lisa, Carolanne, Justin, Sydney, Audley, Peddrina and Tia.

We stopped here for 2 weeks for our honeymoon
Wonderful hotel, location and staff.
Everything about the hotel is spot on, the staff are always smiling and happy to engage with customers.
Bar and restaurant area is lovely fresh and modern and looks out onto the sea and is a lovely place for eating and drinking.
The restaurant is really good quality and decent value and well worth trying.
The rooms are big and spacious, if I wanted to be critical I could say a little dated but that wasn't an issue for us. The rooms were kept spotless by the housekeeping team who worked tirelessly in the heat.
Really good WiFi whilst we stopped
Plenty of free parking withing the hotel complex if you decide too hire a care on your holiday
Only a couple of minutes walk from the main strip of the gap, and 1 min from getting a bus and 5 mins walk to Worthing beach
Would we come back? In a heartbeat and already looking for our 2025 holidays

This is our second visit to this hotel and it didn't disappoint. The rooms are spotless and very well equipped. We enjoyed the pool area.
Its very easy to walk to the restaurants and bars and we felt very safe.
The front desk staff (Monique and Michelle, in particular) and the housekeeping staff work tirelessly. We felt the bar staff were a little less friendly and we felt an inconvenience asking them for drinks. (They were on their phones or eating a meal at the opposite end of the bar and it often took several minutes to get their attention).
We look forward to returning next year.

We have started to stay at the Yellow Bird in the last 3 years. Its a great hotel that offers everything you need.
The room has cooking facilities, cooker, microwave, kettle and full size fridge, and coffee maker.
The bedroom is tastefully decorated and suited to the beautiful Caribbean ocean front view outside your patio. We have stayed on the upper floor, and this time on the lower floor. My husband prefers the upper floor as he can have a nosey outside.
The onsite restaurant is very good, we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinners there.
The staff are welcoming, and kind and we see the same staff on our return visits and have made friends. We always receive a warm welcome, and know must of the staff by first name. we would like to thank Sonia for keeping our room so clean and Laurel.
Reception staff Dashawn, Monique, Michelle for welcoming us with a beautiful smile. Jamal & Kofi for helping us with our luggage and maintenance in our room. We can't forget Sherelleanne, Lisa, Carolanne, Justin, Sydney, Audley, Peddrina & Tia. The staff make the stay more enjoyable, they are full of advice and recommendations.
The hotel is located close to restaurants, bars and beaches. You can walk to must restaurants, bars and beaches. We felt very safe walking to and from bars late at night.
We look forward to our return visit soon.

We highly recommend this apartment hotel!
We stayed in a room with kitchenette. Good size, nice bathroom, okay size balcony with table and chairs.
Very clean rooms, good and friendly housekeeping.
If you like Saint Lawrence Gap (and we do!) this is a good location. Close to the main street leading in to town with busses that run all the time, but the noise from the traffic was not bad at all.
All staff were VERY friendly - we even came in the same day as hurricane Beryl was to hit Barbados during the night, and still we were welcomed with calm, smiles and we felt safe and looked after.
The restaurant and bar is small and cosy, and the food is really good bajan food and not expensive at all.
The beach in front of the hotel is okay for a short dip and very good beaches can be found 5 minutes walk down Saint Lawrence Gap.

Gorgeous boutique hotel sat across the road from the beach .
All rooms are sea view .
We were on the ground floor with a beautiful little garden in front of our room then a few steps outside was a lovely sunbathing area with a pool and the bar nearby for refreshments and food .
All staff were very welcoming and helpful.
This gem of a hotel is sat at the beginning of st Lawrence gap so handy for all the nightlife .
I would highly recommend this gorgeous peaceful hotel .
Also our room was cleaned to a very high standard every day .

Stayed at yellow bird hotel from the 8th to the 12th of June. Customer service, bar and the pool was 10/10. The front desk staff was friendly. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping was there everyday. Will recommend if anyone going to Barbados
Very nice hotel, top notch staff

We stayed in a fourth floor suite at the Yellow Bird on our dive vacation; it was spacious and clean. The location is very convenient to excellent restaurants farther down the street. The staff was wonderful and everything was easy. We ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant every morning before diving, and they took good care of us. Very nice hotel, top notch staff. We'd stay there again. There is no elevator, so book a lower level room if stairs are a problem for you.

We stayed at the Yellow Bird in April when we came to Barbados for our honeymoon, and we knew to expect good things based on the previous reviews, however this hotel blew us away. It’s in a perfect location with beautiful views of St Lawrence Bay from every room, and ideal for heading out to the bars and restaurants. Every single member of staff made us feel so welcome, everybody is so friendly and caring, when you leave you feel like you’re leaving friends behind. The Yellow Bird was perfect for everything we needed, chilled delicious breakfasts, a calm base within walking distance to top spots and a bus stop on the corner for those further away places, and exceptionally clean rooms.
I unfortunately sprained my ankle while in Barbados, but having the staff cheer me on, smile with me through the pain and encourage me with each day how it got better made it seem not quite so bad! This was our first time to Barbados and the Yellow Bird but we will absolutely be back! We could not recommend this hotel enough.

Great small hotel. Excellent sincere service. Fabulous views from the room balcony over the bay with iconic moored fishing boats. Good location for bars and restaurants along the Gap. Real value for money. Others comments about noise at night must be from very light sleepers
